About our shower tray repair in Merston
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Somewhere like Merston, showers are frequently in converted or older buildings, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Merston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Merston: your questions answered
Do you cover villages like Merston?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take on commercial work in Merston?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send pictures and details of the building.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Merston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PO20 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Merston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. For a rural address like Merston, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Merston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. In an older home in a village like Merston, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
